1 For now the Lord,the Lord of Hosts,takes away from Jerusalem and from Judahthe stock and the store,the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
2 the mighty man and the man of war,the judge and the prophet,and the prudent and the ancient,
3 the captain of fifty and the honorable man,the counselor and the skillful artisan, and the eloquent orator.
4 I will give youths to be their princes,and unweaned children shall rule over them.
